Crew 272 Operations Report 4-1-2023

SOL: 3

Name of person filing report: Mason Kuhn

Non-nominal systems: Suit Charger #1, Hab toilet,

Notes on non-nominal systems: I swapped the battery of suit 1 to suit 2, and then charged suit 2 (battery 1) with charger 1. The voltage reading after about 2 hours was unchanged at 10.38 V. I then moved the battery of suit 1 back to suit 1. I took charger 11 (since nobody seems to be using the lightweight suit) and attached it to suit 1 (battery 1). After 2 hours the voltage reading of battery 1 was 13.37 V. From this, I believe the issue is with charger 1 and that there is no issue with suit 1.

No new issues to report with the Hab toilet.

General notes on rovers: Curiosity and Perseverance were used on the long EVA today. On our way out

Summary of Hab operations: Before the toilet tank was emptied, crewmates noticed bad-smelling liquid coming from below the toilet. I emptied the toilet, and then that liquid was cleaned and sanitized extra. This was a result of waiting a bit too long to empty the toilet.

WATER USE: 29.5

Water (static tank): 331

Static tank pipe heater (on or off): On

Static tank heater (On or off): On

Toilet tank emptied: Yes

Summary of internet: Nominal

Summary of suits and radios: All suits except suit 11 are plugged in. Charger 11 is being used for suit 1 because charger 1 was determined to be weak. All other suits are charging. Suits 7-10 were used on the EVA from 1030 to 1340 (returned 50 minutes early). All radios 1-7 are fully charged and have been removed from the charger.

Summary of GreenHab operations: Watered and monitored all GreenHab crops, no new plantings. Monitored experimental crops growing in paper substrate, set up new experiments using potting soil and mixture of substrate gathered on today’s EVA with bleached and unbleached seeds.

WATER USE: 7 gallons

Heater: On

Supplemental light: 4 hours

Harvest: 1g basil, 1g thyme, 1g oregano

Summary of ScienceDome operations:

Dual split: On

Summary of RAM operations: Retrieved a DMM and measuring tape around 0750 which have been in the lower deck of the Hab all day. I was checking suit charges and transmitter 9V battery charges throughout the day. The measuring tape has been used to track our water usage throughout the day (to find which operations use the most water) due to very high usage yesterday.

Summary of any observatory issues: N/A

Summary of health and safety issues: N/A

Questions, concerns and requests to Mission Support:

• Request for info on rover battery:
• On today’s EVA, we noticed some strange battery data. On the way to our destination, both Perseverance and Curiosity were going around 80% speed on mode M (always in mode M), and the battery of each drained to 60-66% charge. We had to stop due to a rover reaching 60% charge and continue on foot. On our way back, both rovers were going around 60% speed on mode M (always in mode M), and the battery of each drained less than 10%. Going both directions, we slowed down significantly when the road terrain required slower speeds.

In short, is it normal for the rover battery to drain ~40% one way and ~10% on the way back? We were curious about if a slight speed decrease usually makes such a huge difference in battery usage.

Best,

Mason Kuhn

Crew Engineer

Supplemental Operations Report 31-DEC-2022

Name of person filing report: Shannon Rupert
Reason for Report: Routine/ Last day of 2022!

Non-nominal systems: Power system, toilet, cabinet door under sink in Hab

Action taken for non-nominal systems: See notes below for toilet and power system. The cabinet door might not be replaceable and if it isn’t we will go forage through the storage and see if there is an extra one in the cabinets for the ScienceDome

Generator: Running from about 8 pm to 8 am. The generator was repaired on Thursday. The problem was the governor, which had lost a small plastic pin and as a result was unstable and the vibration of the engine was causing the surging. How crazy! We also needed the oil pressure sensor changed as it was faulty and we had the bushings replaced because they would have needed it soon. The technician was great and spent a lot of time showing us what things were commonly needed and how to replace them. I am very grateful to not have to worry every night about losing power! The oil pressure sensor will be mailed to us, but it is easy to replace. He did not have one with him.

Solar— Nominal but we have had some cloudy days and since the generator currently won’t charge the batteries, we have had to use the generator more hours than normal.

Solar— SOC Last 24 hours:
Max 100
Min 44
Avg 65.9
Power system notes: I reprogramed the router so SOC can again be monitored remotely. Yay, me!

Propane Reading, station tank – 73 % (all propane tanks were filled on Tuesday, the 27th, in anticipation of the storm

Propane Reading, director tank— 83 %
Propane Reading, intern tank— 81 %
Propane Reading, generator— 73 %

Ethanol Free Gasoline – 0 gallons

Water (static tank) – 550 gallons
Water in GreenHab – not noted gallons
Water in ScienceDome: 0 gallons
Water (Outpost tank) – 400 gallons

Hab toilet tank emptied: See crew operations reports. On the 31st, I did flush the tank three times: 1. Filled it up and emptied what was left from the crew. It smelled. 2. Added a bottle of dish soap and 5 gallons of hot water and emptied. 3. Filled it with fresh water and emptied, then added water and digester so it is usable. Each time I emptied it I still heard the glub, glub, meaning something is still wrong (how do you think my very professional words?)

General notes and comments: Nothing to note

Summary of internet: Nominal. HughesNet is being moved from my trailer and will be reinstalled in the Hab for crew use during simulation.

Summary of suits and radios: See crew operations reports.

EVA COMMS: Further changes to the COMMS system did not improve signal. They were: all radios with larger antenna, a rover mounted unit, and extending the repeater antenna by an additional eight feet. The decision was made to reinstall the system on the North Ridge, which was where it was when we tested it last season. Crew 271 did find a route to the top of the ridge, but it is going to take a huge effort to move it. We will do this as soon as we can, but it may be awhile before everything comes together.

Campus wide inspection, if action taken, what and why? RAM exterior needs some repainting.

Summary of general operations: It was so strange to have two external people on site in one week to work on systems. The crew mentioned this and I hadn’t thought about it, but I think I’m so lucky to have found people who can help when we really need it. We had the generator technician and then the electrician and the off-grid guy.

Summary of Hab operations: One of the bean bag chairs broke and the crew threw it away although I had planned to send it back. One of the two doors on the kitchen cabinet under the sink broke and is scheduled to be repaired tomorrow. We noted several things needing attention during the two week period at the end of January when we have no crew. The electrician was also briefed on where and what we wanted done with outlets, etc. He will determine where electrical rewiring needs to be done. The off-grid guy studied the power system and we shall see if he can solve the mystery of why the generator and the inverters won’t get along.

Summary of Outpost operations: General cleanup in preparation for upgrading deck.

Summary of GreenHab operations: Supplemental light 10-2 pm.

Summary of ScienceDome operations: Standing desk was returned from the Hab.

ScienceDome Dual Split: on at 65 degrees overnight (when I remember).

Summary of RAM operations: We have a lot of used oil to recycle.

Summary of any observatory issues: Both observatories were used by Crew 271 and some issues were reported to Peter.

Summary of health and safety issues: Nothing to report

Questions, concerns, supplies needed and requests: Happy New Year and welcome to Donald Jacques, our new Site Manager, who arrived at MDRS this evening in his big black bus!

Reason for Report: Routine/crew changeover

Non-nominal systems: Hab toilet has something wrong and it is not emptying correctly.

Action taken for non-nominal systems: We will be investigating tomorrow

Generator: Running from about 8 pm to 8 am. We looked into some of the issues surrounding the autostart last weekend and as usual, the power system decided to seek revenge. The router is showing as SOC connect for the generator but the online data is only showing VDC. Sooooo…. We need to figure out which parts of the system need reprogrammed.

Campus wide inspection, if action taken, what and why? Nothing to report

Summary of general operations: Conduit work delayed

Summary of Hab operations: As noted above the toilet has a problem that we need to investigate. I ordered a new humidifier for the upper deck. The one we had was not operational nor was it one I purchased.

Summary of Outpost operations: I broke one half of the handle to the output on my trailer’s wastewater pipes because it was frozen. It is still usable. Sergii’s hot water to the bathroom froze last night. It’s been very cold for this early in the season. I’m also using my wall unit to supplement the heat in my house.

Summary of GreenHab operations: Shade cloth was removed. Supplemental light 10-2 pm. Tomatoes all moved to the bed frame. We transplanted the ones from the herb garden into pots as they were not thriving. We removed some of the snow peas to do this, and I replanted snow peas in the herb garden. I thinned the carrots and we replanted microgreens in one of the two raised beds. We also replanted cilantro in clay pot bottoms as they grow better than way. Tomorrow I will clear out the cilantro pot and plant another microgreen.

Summary of ScienceDome operations: Used all week for SWBU. I will be removing the broken microscopes and taking them to WA for replace. One of the teachers who was here for SWBU has donated a new microscope that I will pick up in SLC as soon as possible.

Summary of RAM operations: Added a spark plug gap measuring device and a new ratchet handle to the tools.

Summary of Hab operations: The crew reported that the humidifier on the upper deck was not working. We confirmed it wasn’t and in the process discovered that the humidifier was not actually one that we had purchased. Not really sure what happened there!

We fixed the door latch on the second stateroom door. This crew reported that they would have like some way to identify which door was theirs. Maybe we need to revisit the idea of numbers for the door.

We are set up and ready for the teachers of Spaceward Bound Utah Cohort 4 who arrive tomorrow.

Summary of Outpost operations: Sergii’s trailer now has carpet on the large tipout.

Summary of GreenHab operations: Plants were fertilized. Timer was installed but did not work. That was fixed today. I also realized that we still have the 90% shade cloth on so that will be removed tomorrow.

Summary of internet: No issues with the internet. Connection is good.

Summary of suits and radios: Suit #3 was experiencing a low air flow. Because our GreenHab Officer already had Suit #3 fitted exactly to him, we decided to just switch the batteries from Suit #6 (the suit the Crew Engineer put a new battery in a few days ago) into Suit #3 and he was good to go for the EVA today. In the meantime, the Crew Engineer tested the original battery in Suit #3 and it was <12 V. She then put this battery into Suit #6 to charge it, and it seemed that the issue was with the power strip again. There is a button on the power strip that needs to be in the “reset” position and not the “off” position in order for the suits to charge. When it is in the “off” position, the chargers still shine green, giving the false illusion that the suits are charging. When the power strip is in the “reset” position, you can see that the chargers change to red when charging and green when fully charged. It must be in this position to ensure proper charging. Once the EVA ended, I switched the batteries back into their original suits. All suits are charging properly now and ready to use.
